We are proud to present the next release in our Artist Series instruments – Steampunk – featuring the sound design of our own Kyle Kniceley. The artist series instruments will each highlight one of our composer/sound designers, where they will create most or all of the samples on their own.

Created entirely from raw, organic recordings, Steampunk offers something truly unique for your compositions of all genres. Clocks, cranks, levers, metals, steam, engines, machines, ticks, clicks, create hits and patterns that are not only unique, but simple to manipulate and put into your own tracks.

Includes 2 different Kontakt instruments:

PATTERNS

Provides you with a 16 step sequencer where each step can be loaded with a different sample from one of 5 categories (and nearly 350 distinct samples) of sounds: Clicky, Mechanized, Watery, Tonal, and Metals. Each step can have volume, panning, length and tuning adjustments, making for infinite possibilities, and direct syncing to various time signatures in your DAW.

Thousands of unique pattern combinations and patterns readily available and simple to generate
16 step sequencer with control to change the active number of steps
Prebuilt pattern menu with many custom patterns ready to give you a jump start
Unique organic sources
Randomization options at the instrument level, allowing you to randomize all 16 sources with all categories of sounds or limited to certain combinations of sounds
Keyboard mapped to use one key to play the pattern automatically and another 16 keys to allow you to play your own pattern manually as a kit with the 16 loaded sample steps
Per-step source selection, randomize, volume, mute and panning controls
Per-step pitch shifting to allow up to +3/-3 octaves(adjusted in semi-tones)
